If your audio sounds muffled, distorted, or unclear, it may affect the proctor or interviewer’s ability to verify your identity or monitor you during a live session. Poor audio quality can also interfere with speech detection during pre-checks.
What might be wrong | What you can do |
---|---|
You’re too far from the microphone | Sit closer to the microphone and speak clearly |
Mic input volume is too low | Increase mic volume in your system’s sound settings |
Mic is obstructed or dirty | Wipe the mic area gently and avoid covering it |
Background noise affecting clarity | Move to a quieter environment with fewer disruptions |
Using a low-quality built-in mic | Use headphones or an external microphone for better clarity |
